Daneshvar differential hair coloring and methods

ABSTRACT

Coloring of hairs are common for beautification, religious reasons and expression of choices. Commonly, a single hair dye is applied to the hairs all over which leaves a uniform color of the hairs. However, this is not ideal in certain conditions, for example when the person wishes to have shades of hair coloring to match the changes that happens with age. Also in circumstance when a person wishes to have a more artistic hair coloring than a uniform hair color. For this reasons a in this application method and means are introduced that allows in this differential coloring to be possible. In this method a hand held brush means allows a predicted amount of the hair dye to be carried to the hairs and applied. This can be done by use of a brush means that has a series of brush units that are capable of holding a predicted amount of the hair dye for being taken to be delivered to the hairs. This method has the advantages that first, it allows the application of the dye to the hair to be easy, second, it allows some groups of the hair to be spared from being dyed. Third, it also allows some of the hair dye which was already applied to the hairs to be removed, thus finally the hairs will have different groups, some which has received full dose of the hair dyes and others with much lesser hair dye and a third group which has different shades of the hair dye on them. Thus at the end this method allows the hairs to have shades of the hair dye on them and to look different than having a universal coloring. This application also allows two or more hair dyes to be applied at one time for creation of different over all hair coloring. A dye pan means are introduced for allowing an easy application of the dyes by this method.

This application incorporates by reference and claims the priority ofthe provisional application No 60/783764 filed on Mar. 20, 2006.

THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Coloring of hairs are common for beautification, religious reasons andexpression of choices. Commonly, one colored hair dye is applied to thehairs which leaves a uniform color of the hairs. However, coloring thehairs uniformly with one color is not ideal in certain conditions, forexample when the person wishes to have shades of a hair color to matchthe changes that happens with age, then a uniform color will beunwanted. Also in a circumstance when a person wishes to have a moreartistic hair coloring again a uniform hair coloring will not be ideal.For these reasons this application introduces methods and means thatallow differential coloring of hairs to be possible in a living body. Inthis subject, also other related issues will be also addressed forexample the process of coloring the hairs needs to be advanced to removecertain difficulties.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

In this application the applicant introduces a special, hand hold brushmeans that allows a predicted amount of hair dye to be carried from apan to the hair and applied. To do this, the special brush means has aseries of brush units that are capable of holding and carrying apredicted amount of the hair dye from a source for being delivered tothe hairs, without dripping and contaminating the surrounding. Thismethod provides multiple advantages, first, it allows the application ofthe dye to the hair to be easy, second, it allows some groups of thehairs to be spared from being dyed. Third, it also allows some of thehair dye which was already applied to the hairs to be removed, so thatfinally the hairs will have different groups, some which has receivedfull dose of the hair dye and others with much lesser or no hair dye anda third group which has different shades of the hair dye on them. Thusat the end this method allows the hairs to have multiple shades of thehair dye on them and look different than having a universal coloring.This application also allows two or more hair dyes to be applied at onetime for creation of different over all hair coloring. Lastly, in thismethod the contamination of the surrounding by the dye will be none orfar lesser than other methods. Methods of use in this applicationprovides other benefits that are explained. Also other methods areintroduced.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

FIG. 1. Shows schematically a special brush means, (SBM) that has abase, Base for holding a series of special brush units, BU on itssurface. The brush units are designed to hold and carry a predictedamount of the hair dye and are shown in more details in FIGS. 9-11. Thisunit has a handle, Handle for holing and also a blade means, BLD in itsend. The blade means is for wiping the dye around which is poured insidea special space, dye pan, DP shown in FIG. 2.

FIG. 2. Shows schematically a tray means that consists of differentparts as follows.

a. a series of cylinderical empty spaces, CS, designed to allow each onesingle brush unit, BU of the brush means shown at FIG. 1 to be insertedinside these cylinderical spaces for being immersed inside the dyefilled these spaces. So that when the brush means is removed each brushunit, BU will be covered with a predesigned amount of the hair dye.Thus, the numbers of the Cylinderical spaces, CS will match the numbersof the brush units, BU from the brush means.

b. A floor, FL1 which is a flat layer with a flat surface that thecylinderical spaces are attached to it.

c. The front part of the floor, FL1 has a dye pan, DP that acts like atiny pan so that the hair dye can be emptied inside it for use. Thisspace, DP has a front and a rear flat surfaces, which are like ramps,Ramp1 and Ramp2. The Ramp1, is between the rear border of the dye pan,DP and the front border of the floor, FL1. The Ramp2, is located betweenthe front border of the dye pan, DP and the rear border of the floor,FL1. These ramps allows the blade, BLD of the brush unit shown at FIG. 1to pull the dye from the dye pan, DP to the flat surface, FL1 area inorder to pull the dye further for filling up the cylinderical spaces,CS.

d. A second, flat floor, FL2 which stands one level above the firstfloor, FL1 and has a side wall, SW around which prevents that dye fromspilling out of this unit.

e. The surrounding wall, SW is vertically attached to the border of thesecond floor, FL2, thus it prevents the dye from being spilled out ofthe second floor, FL2 of this unit, This is also shown at FIG. 4.

f. A handle, Handle that attaches to the side wall, SW or similar areaand allows this unit to be held.

FIG. 3. Shows schematically a brush means similar to the unit shown atFIG. 1 and is designed to match and be used with the dye delivery traymeans, shown at FIG. 4.

FIG. 4. Shows schematically the side view of the dye delivery tray meansshown at FIG. 2. This figure shows two pools, Pan1 and Pan2 which aremade by having a wall means around the floors, FL1 and FL2 respectively.So that the walls prevent from the dye to spill out of these pools.

The cylinderical spaces, CS are attached to the floor, FL1. Again eachcylinderical space allows one brush unit, BU of the brush means shown atFIG. 1 and 3 to be inserted inside these cylinderical spaces in order tobe immersed in the die which is filled these spaces. The pan, Pan2stands above the Pan1 and has its own wall. The handle means, Handle isattached to the side of the Pan2.

In the front part of the floor 1, FL1 has the dye pan, DP that hassloped walls, that allows the blade, BLD from the brush unit to pull thedye from the dye pan of this space into the surface of the floor one,FL1 in order to fill up the cylinderical spaces.

This unit will be made from a rigid material such as metal or syntheticmaterial. Although it can be used alone but mainly this is a cradle fora disposable matching insert shown at FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 shows a disposable matching insert, made from a thin polymer,that simply its body and size matches and fits inside the cradle shownat FIG. 4. Thus the shape of the outer surface of the insert will bealmost exactly similar to the shape of the inner surface of the durableunit. Except it will be a shade smaller so that the placement of theinsert inside its cradle can occur due to its all over thin body theshape of the inner surface of the cradle will be about the same as itsoutside. The insert will have an overlapping edge so that it willoverlap the outer side wall, SW of the body of durable unit and thus itwill prevent from the contamination of the edge of the durable unit withthe dye. The purpose of this insert are as follows.

1. It makes the use of these units easier, and will save time and money,since the user does not need to use water for washing the cradle unitshown at FIG. 4.

2. This makes these units economical, since a thin disposable piece willbe cheap and affordable.

3. This makes these units clean and hygienic, since the thin disposablepiece will be disposed after use thus will eliminate or decrease thechance of spread of germs and diseases.

4. This provides piece of mind to users when they know that a new unitsis used for them alone.

These inserts simply match the inside surface of the hard unit shown atFIG. 4 and will simply fit inside that a handle cover, Cover for Handlewill go over the handle and has a door means hinged to it that willcover the lower surface of the handle and snap to its own wall so thateven the handle part will be covered as well. Each part of this unit hasa matching piece that will fit the parts of the unit shown at FIG. 4.The will of this unit will overlap the side wall of the Pan2 from theunit shown at FIG. 4.

FIG. 6 shows schematically the top view of a simpler dye pan, Dye Panthat a pan has dividing walls that makes small spaces by dividing a paninto small spaces by use of walls, DW. This figure is shown to indicatethat other sorts of dye pools may be made for use. Although the modelshown at FIG. 2 has the advantage which provides a more distance betweenthe cylindrical spaces, CS and allows the dye to be used with thesmallest amount that is needed.

FIG. 6A shows schematically the cross cut view of the dye pan means, DyePan shown in previous FIG. 6. In this view the small spaces are shownmade by use of walls, DW.

FIG. 7. Shows schematically a method that allows the brush means to havea re-useable handle means, Handle with disposable brush means, DBM, sothat the handle means can be reused and the brush means can be disposed.This method has the advantage of using a durable, deluxe, handle meansand saving money. In this model the durable handle means, Handle,attaches to the body of a disposable base, DBM which holds a series ofthe special brush units, BU on it. The re-useable handle means, HAM hasan attachment means, ATM at its end, EP. The attachment means allows thebody of a disposable base, DBM to be separated from the handle and allowa fresh unit to be attached for use. This method allows lesser amount ofthe material to be wasted as well.

FIG. 8. Shows schematically the top view of the unit shown at FIG. 7. Inthis figure the re-useable handle means, Handle is attached to the bodyof a disposable base, DBM by use of the attachment means, ATM.

In another model shown at FIGS. 13-15 the base of the unit has a doublesided surface that allows the brush means to be on its upper and lowerfaces. The unit made be made with having more than two faces with brushmeans such as three, four etc.

FIG. 9. Shows schematically the side view of a single, special brushunits, BU which has a body or a stem shown at, Stem with a series ofshort, circular walls, Wall that are located around the stem, Stem andare perpendicular to it. The presence of walls close to each othercreates a space between them, Space so that it will hold a pre-designedamount of dye in it, due to the consistency of the dye. The free end ofthe brush unit, BU has a rounded head, RH so that it will not scratchthe skin. Importantly, instead of the walls the stem may be made to haveother means such as.

a. Short, multiple side branches.

b. Spikes.

c. Indentations

d. Holes or openings.

e. Spaces.

or any other means to increase the surface of the stem and modify itssurface to allow the temporary attachment of the dye to the stem and itsparts and the surfaces for delivery to the intended area.

Importantly, any other means and modification which will be useful inthe purpose may be used to make such units applicable.

FIG. 10. Shows schematically the side view of another brush units, whichhas a body that consists of combination of two separate stems, Stem1 andStem2 with a distance between them, shown at Space. So that the surfacesof the stems and the adjacent space between them will hold a predesignedamount of the dye for delivery. The end of the brush unit, also has around head, RH so that it will not scratch the skin.

FIG. 11. Shows schematically the side view of yet another brush units,which has a stem, Stem made from metal or hard, resilient material thatis covered with a layer of absorbent material such as the cotton shownat ABSOR. The free end of this brush unit, also has a round head, RH toprevent from the scratching of the skin. This model allows thefollowing.

1. This unit can be immersed inside a pan of dye so that when removed itwill hold a predicted amount of dye for allowing it to be taken anddelivered to the hairs.

2. Importantly, when used in a dry form it can be brushed thorough ahair group which are covered uniformly with a hair dye, in order toabsorb the dye. By this process the absorbent material will absorb anamount of hair dye during its passage through the hairs. By doing so itwill remove the dye from certain hairs and will prevent them from beingdyed on a uniform fashion, thus it will create a differential coloring.Naturally, the amount of the dye removal will depend to.

a. The number of the times which a dry brush is moved through the hairgroups.

b. The thickness of the absorbent material.

c. The nature of the absorbent material.

d. The width of the brush unit may vary so that with the rotation of thestem of the brush unit the exposure of the brush unit to the hairs canbe changed.

This can be adjusted in order to allow the user to chose the amount ofthe dye which he/she wants to remove in the process.

Other model of brush units are shown at FIGS. 17 and 18. Which consistof a tube with openings. Which the openings will allow the dye to get inand out of them for the intended use.

FIG. 12. Shows schematically a tray means that consists of combinationof two independent dye pools for delivering two different dyes. Thisunit consists of rather two identical delivery system that are dividedby a separating wall, SEPW. Each one of this units are similar to thedye delivery system shown at FIG. 2. Thus this unit has the following.

a. a series of cylinderical empty spaces, CS-A and CS-B that aredesigned to allow each single, brush unit, BU of the brush means shownat FIG. 1 to be inserted inside these cylinderical spaces in order to beimmersed in the die, filled in these spaces. So that when the brushmeans, is removed from the cylinderical space, each brush unit will becovered with a special, predesigned amount of the hair dye. Thus thenumbers of the Cylinderical spaces, CS will match the numbers of thebrush units, BU from the brush means.

b. A floor, such as Floor A and Floor B which are a flat surfaces thatthe cylinderical spaces are attached to them.

c. One side of the floor, has a basin for holding the dye, shown atBasin A and Basin H. Which will function as a pan and will allow twodifferent colored hair dyes to be emptied inside each one. A higherfloor and wall similar to the unit shown at FIG. 2 will be utilized toallow this unit for being functional. The advantage of this unit is thatit allows two different colors of hair dye to be placed and to beutilized with.

1. A brush that will be used once with first dye in CS-A and then by thesecond dye in CS-B.

2. Or with a brush that has enough numbers of the brush units, BU thatwill allow half of the brush units to be used with the first dye in CS-Aand the other half with the second dye in CS-B.

3. The blade of the brushes may be placed in the side in order to allowthe wiping of the dye to be done easily.

The ramps and the other parts will mimic the unit shown at FIG. 2.

The use of two dyes with different colors will allow two colors andshades of these two colors to be applied to the hairs and prevent from auniform coloring. Importantly, more than two colors may be used withutilizing this method.

FIG. 13. Shows schematically a disposable body of brush means that isdesigned for use with a re-useable handle means shown at FIG. 14. Inthis model the body of the brush means, Body of Brush is made of ahollow flat unit such as a rectangular cuboid made from a relativelyrigid means that holds a series of brush units, BU on its upper andlower surfaces.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THIS INVENTION

The coloring of hairs are common for reasons, such as beautification,religious reasons and expression of choice. Commonly, a single hair dyeis applied to the hairs which leaves a uniform color of the hairs.However, this is not ideal in certain conditions, for example when theperson wishes to have shades of hair coloring to match the changes thathappens with age. Also in other circumstance when a person which wishesto have a more artistic hair coloring than a uniform hair color. Forthis reasons a in this application method and means are introduced thatallows in this differential coloring to be possible. In this applicationthe applicant introduces a hand hold brush means that allows a predictedamount of hair dye to be carried to the hair and applied. This can bedone by use of a brush means that has a series of brush units that arecapable of holding a predicted amount of the hair dye for being taken tobe delivered to the hairs. This method has the advantages that first, itallows the application of the dye to the hair to be easy, second, itallows some groups of the hair to be spared from being dyed. Third, italso allows some of the hair dye which was already applied to the hairsto be removed, thus finally the hairs will have different groups, somewhich has received full dose of the hair dyes and others with muchlesser hair dye and a third group which has different shades of the hairdye on them. Thus at the end this method allows the hairs to have shadesof the hair dye on them and to look different than having a universalcoloring. This application also allows two or more hair dyes to beapplied at one time for creation of different over all hair coloring.For understanding this method and means the applicant reviews thefigures. FIG. 1. Shows schematically a brush means that is designed toallow a predicted amount of hair dye to be carried from a unit referredas the hair dye pan to the hair. This brush means has a base, Base whichholds a series of special brush units, BU in it. it has a handle, Handleand also has a blade, BLD in its end. The brush units are explained morein FIGS. 9, Stem and 11. The main function of these brush units are.

A. To hold and carry a pre-designed amount of dye on their bodies sothat in general the hair dye will not drip.

B. The free end of the brush unit, BU has a round head, HBU so that itwill not scratch the skin.

C. In some models such as one shown at FIG. 11, the brush unit is madefrom a body or stem that is covered with a layer of absorbent materialsuch as the cotton shown at ABSOR. So that this construction allows thefollowing.

1. If it is immersed inside a pan of dye it will hold a predicted amountof the hair dye and will allow it to be taken and delivered to the hairswithout dripping.

2. Importantly, when it is not used and is dry it can be brushedthorough scalp with hairs that are covered totally with a hair dye, thisunit will absorb the hair dye during its passage among the hairs. Thusit will remove the dye from the hairs that comes in contact with it, andwill prevent them from being dyed uniformly. Thus it will be useful increation of a differential hair coloring. The free end of this brushunit, also has a round head, HBU so that it will not scratch the skin.

The brush means will have different numbers of these brush units inorder to serve the purpose of the user.

The brush means also has a blade means as shown which is designed forwiping the dye into dye pan as shown in FIG. 2.

This method also uses a tray means that is designed for use with thebrush means. This unit is shown at FIG. 2. This figure showsschematically a tray means that consists of different parts as follows.

a. a series of cylinderical empty spaces, CS that are designed forallowing each single, brush unit, BU of the brush means shown at FIG. 1to be inserted inside these cylinderical spaces in order to be immersedin the die which is filled these spaces. So that when the brush unit isremoved from these cylinderical space it will be covered with apredesigned amount of the hair dye. Thus the numbers of the Cylindericalspaces, CS will match the numbers of the brush units, BU from the brushmeans. The number of the brush units can be less than the numbers of thecylinderical spaces but they can not be more than those.

b. A floor, FL1 which is a flat surface that the cylinderical spaces areattached to it.

c. The front part of the floor, FL1 has a dye pan, DP that will act likea basin or pan so that the hair dye can be emptied inside it for use.This space, DP has a front and rear lower surfaces which are sloped sothat it allows the blade, BLD from the brush unit to pull the dye fromthe dye pan of this space into the flat surface, FL2 in order to fill upthe cylinderical spaces.

d. A second floor, FL2 which is also a flat surface that stands abovethe first floor, FL1 and prevents that dye to spill out of this unit.

e. A surrounding wall, SW is around the second floor, FL2 and it furtherprevents the dye from being spilled out of this unit.

f. A handle, Handle allows this unit to be held.

FIG. 11. Shows schematically the side view of yet another brush units,which has a body or stem that is covered with a layer of absorbentmaterial such as the cotton shown at ABSOR. This allows the following.

1. If this brush unit is immersed inside a pan of dye it will hold apredesigned amount of dye and will allow the dye to be taken anddelivered to the hairs.

2. Importantly, this unit can be used in a dry form. In this conditionif it is brushed thorough a series of hairs which are covered totallywith a hair dye, this unit will absorb the hair dye that comes incontact with it during its passage among the hairs. Thus it will removethe dye from certain hairs and will keep them from being dyed uniformlyand this will create a differential coloring. The free end of this brushunit, also has a round head, HBU so that it will not scratch the skin.

FIG. 12. Shows schematically a dye pan means or a tray means thatconsists of combination of two independent dye containing areas fordelivering the dye. This unit consists of rather two identical deliverysystem that are divided by a separation wall, SEPW. This unit has thefollowing.

a. A series of cylinderical empty spaces, CS-A and CS-B that aredesigned to allow each single, brush unit, BU of the brush means shownat FIG. 1 to be inserted inside these cylinderical spaces in order to beimmersed in the dye which is filled these spaces. So that when the brushmeans is removed each brush unit will be covered with a specialpredesigned amount of the hair dye. Thus the numbers of the Cylindericalspaces, CS will match the numbers of the brush units, BU from the brushmeans.

b. A floor, which is a flat surface that the cylinderical spaces areattached to it.

c. The sides of the floor, has a basin for holding the dye shown atBasin A and Basin H. Which will function a pan and will allow twodifferent colored hair dyes to be emptied inside each one.

This unit will also have two blade means, Blade-A and Blade-B,for use with the Dye Pan A and Dye Pan B.

Method of use of these units.

The use of the above mentioned units follows the following basicdirections.

1. Initially, the user places the disposable pan means, shown at FIG. 5inside the durable pan means shown at FIG. 4 and closes the cover of thehandle, Cover for Handle.

2. The user pours the hair dye inside the dye pan, Dye-Pan-A.

3. The user uses a brush means such as one shown at FIG. 3 and sweepsthe hair dye from the Dye-Pan-A into the floor, FL1-A for filling thecylinderical spaces, CS-A. The user will chose a reasonable amount ofthe dye so that there will not be too much dye above the CS-A.

4. The user places the brush means shown at FIG. 3 or preferably, theunits shown at FIGS. 7-8 or 13-15 inside the cylinderical spaces, CS-Aso that the brush units, BU of these brush means will be immersed intothe dye in order to hold a designated amount of the dye in their bodies.

5. The user will use the brush means, with dye for brushing the hair.Importantly, since each brush unit, BU carries only a predesigned amountof the hair dye, thus per design the hair dye will not spill from thebrush means, to contaminate the area. By repeating this action the userwill dye the scalp, in a fashion which he or she wants.

6. By use of a dry brush means, particularly, a brush means made with anabsorbent material such as the brush unit, BU shown at FIG. 11. The usercan remove lines of the hair dye which is already applied to the hair.Thus creating a series of hairs that some part of them do not have thehair dye. Thus the coloring of the hair will not be uniform.

7. At the end, the user removes the disposable brush means, shown atFIGS. 7-8 and 13-15 and the disposable insert of the pan means shown atFIG. 5 and dispose. This will leave the durable hair dye pan shown atFIG. 4 and the handle of the brush means, FIGS. 14 and 16 ready for nextuse.

The use of the dye delivery pan with two different sets of the dyedelivery systems as shown at FIG. 12 will be very similar except theuser will use the dye from first or the second sets of the dye pans orsimultaneously, in the way they want using one dye and mixing the otherdye periodically as they wish.

FIG. 18. Shows schematically a brush means, that is made from a tubethat has holes in its sides and tip, properly located so that the hairdye can move into them or come out of them. Thus this will function thepurpose of this invention such as the other brush means. Furthermore, itwill allow a suction and delivery means such as one shown at Suc-Delmachine in order to suction away or deliver the dye. By doing so the dye(which is already delivered to the scalp) will be removed from the scalpin the direction of the movement of the brush means and thus the colorof the hairs will be lighter. Thus with multiple and calculated use ofthis unit the hairs will have collection of hairs that are more orlesser dyed. In this model the brush unit, BU consist of a tubing withside holes, Side Hole and an open end, Open End which is connected tothe suction-delivery machine, Suc-Del Machine by a hose means, Hose. TheSuc-Del machine has control means that allows the important variables ofsuctioning or delivery to be controlled such as its vacuuming power,suction mode or delivery mode etc. In delivery mode this machine iscapable of delivering the dye from a container, Cont through the holesand the openings of the brush units, BU to the hairs, thus allowscoloring to be done in a selected groups of the hairs. A disposablecontainer symbolically shown at, Cont, will be able to function in twoways,

A. In suctioning mode the machine will function as a suctioning meansand will aspirate the dye into the Cont. The suctioned dye then willaccumulate inside this disposable container, Cont for disposal.

B. In delivery mode the dye will be placed inside this disposablecontainer, Cont so that it with use of the suction-delivery machine thedye will be pushed to be delivered to the hairs.

The brush units will be disposable, so that they can be exchanged anddisposed prior to next use.

FIG. 19. Shows schematically a brush means, that consists of a hollowbody, Base which accepts multiple brush units, BU similar to the brushunits shown at, BU from previous FIG. 18. The base is connected to apiece, Suc End which will connect to the suction hose. This unit willallow the brush units to be exchanged and a new brush units to be usedand then disposed after use. Alternatively, the whole unit shown in thisfigure will be disposable. Importantly, in some models the dye may befilled into the hollow body, Base which then either it will be squeezedout or by use of a hand held means or a machine to be delivered into thehairs.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THIS INVENTION

The coloring of hairs are common for beautification, religious reasonsor expression of choices. Commonly, a single hair dye is applied to thehairs which leaves a uniform color on the hairs. However, a uniform haircolor is not ideal in certain conditions, for example when the personwishes to have shades of hair coloring to match the changes that happensin hair color with age. Also in other circumstance when a person wishesto have a more artistic hair coloring than a uniform hair color. Forthis reasons in this application a method and means are introduced thatallows differential coloring of the hairs to be done. This method can beachieved by two methods.

1. In first method, the applicant, uses a hand hold brush means, shownat FIG. 1 that allows a predicted amount of hair dye to be carried tothe hair for application. This brush means, has a series of brush units,BU that are capable of holding a predicted amount of the hair dye forbeing taken and for being applied to the hairs. This method has thefollowing advantages.

A. It allows the application of the dye to the hair to be easy.

B. It allows some groups of the hairs to be spared from being dyed.Since there is space between the brush units, BU.

2. In second method the applicant uses a dry brush means, in order toremove some of the hair dye which was already applied to the hairs. Forthis purpose the brush means, has a body made with brush means, shown atFIG. 11. When this brush means is used in a dry condition the absorbentbody will remove the dye which is applied on the hair, during itsjourney. Thus the hairs in course of the journey of this brush meanswill have no or lesser amount of the dye. With enough applicationfinally the hairs will have different groups, some which has receivedfull dose of the hair dyes and others with much lesser hair dye and athird group which has different shades of the hair dye on them. Thus atthe end, this method allows the hairs to have shades of the hair dye onthem and to look different than having a universal coloring.

The brush means consists as follows.

1. It has a base, Base made from a rigid material such as wood, metal ora polymer, which holds a series of special brush units, BU in it. Theunit has a handle, Handle for holding it and also a blade, BLD in itsend. The blade is for wiping a dye into special small space. Thefunction of the brush means is as follows.

A. At the time of use, this brush means will be placed inside a pan withdye in a level that the dye reaches only till the base of the brushunits, BU. This makes the body of the brush units to hold a predictedamount of dye so that the dye can be taken and delivered to the hairs.Thus by design, using this method will prevent the hair dye fromdripping and contamination of unwanted areas. Since with the consistencyof the dye and the calculated surface area or the porous nature of thebrush units, BU the dye amount on the brush unit, BU will not allow thedye to drip. Thus the application of the dye to the hairs will beeasier, without dripping and messing the surrounding area . The removalof the dye with each application will reduce the level of the dye on aregular flat pan to a level that at some point the level of the dye onthe pan will be so low that only it will be enough to reach the tip ofthe brush units, BU. To prevent such a phenomenon the applicantintroduces a special pan means shown at FIG. 2 that allows a consistentamount of the dye to be delivered by this brush means, each time, untilthe very last use. This prevents from wasting the dye as well. Thus overall a lesser amount of dye can be used.

B. By this method each BU will carry the hair dye to some distancearound the brush units, BU, thus with choosing a proper distance betweenthe brush units, BU then, some groups of the hairs will be spared frombeing dyed. This allows hairs with two different colors and shades inbetween.

C. By using a new, brush means covered with the absorbent materialaround its brush units, BU as shown in FIG. 11, or any brush unitmultiple times, each time with a new brush means, each time. This willfunction such that it will remove some of the hair dye which has alreadybeen applied to the hairs, during the passage of the brush means amongthe hairs. Thus by multiple application of such a unit in dry condition,finally the hairs will have different groups, some which has receivedfull dose of the hair dyes and others with much lesser hair dye and athird group which has different shades of the hair dye on them. Withmixing them a natural look will appear and a universal coloring will beprevented.

FIG. 2. Shows schematically a pan means, designed to simplify andfacilitate the process of the carrying of the hair dye to the hairs andprevent from contamination of the unwanted areas. Also it allows theleast amount of the dye to be used for dying the hairs. This unitconsists of a pan with different parts as follows.

a. a series of cylinderical empty spaces, CS that are designed to allowa single, brush unit, BU of the brush means shown at FIG. 1 to beinserted inside these cylinderical spaces in order to be immersed in thedye which is filled into these spaces. After the removal only apredicted amount of the dye will attach to the body of the brush unit,BU. So that when the brush means is removed each brush unit, BU willcarry only a special, predesigned amount of the hair dye. The numbers ofthe Cylinderical spaces, CS will match the numbers of the brush units,BU from the brush means.

b. A floor, FL1 which is a flat surface which is the base for the firstor the lower pan and the cylinderical spaces are attached to it. Thisfloor will create the base of the first pan, Pan1.

c. The front part of the floor, FL1 has a dye pan, DP that allowsinitially, the hair dye to be emptied inside it for use. This pan, DPhas a front and rear ramps, that allows a blade such as the blade, BLDfrom the brush unit in FIG. 1, to pull the dye from the base of the paninto the flat surface, FL1 in order to fill up the cylinderical spaces.

d. A second flat floor, FL2 which stands above the first floor, FL1 andprevents that dye to spill out of this unit. This is the base of thesecond pan. Pan2.

e. A surrounding wall, SW is around the second floor, FL2 and makes thewall of the second pan, Pan2 and further prevents the dye from beingspilled out of this unit.

f. A handle, Handle allows this unit to be held.

FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 are designed to show pieces of a complete system foruse by this method. FIG. 3. Shows schematically a brush means similar tothe unit shown at FIG. 1 which matches the dye delivery tray means,shown at FIG. 4. In this unit the size, the location, the distancesbetween the brush units, BU, the numbers of the brush units, BU all aredesigned to allow this brush means to fit inside the tray means shown atFIG. 4.

FIG. 4. Shows schematically, the side view of the dye delivery pan meansshown at FIG. 2. This figure shows two pans, Pan1 and Pan2 made byhaving a wall around the floors, FL1 and FL2 respectively. So that thewalls prevent the dye from spilling out of these pans. The cylindericalspaces, CS are attached to the floor, FL1 of the pan 1, Pan1. Again eachcylinderical space allows one brush unit, BU of the brush means shown atFIGS. 1 and 3 to be inserted inside it, for being immersed in the dyewhich will fill these spaces. The upper pan, Pan2 stands above the lowerpan, Pan1 and has its own side wall, SW. The handle means, Handle isattached to the side of the Pan2. The front part of the floor 1, FL1 hasthe dye pan, DP with its two ramps. The ramps are designed to allows theblade, BLD from the brush unit to sweep the dye from the dye pan, DP ofthis space and bring it up using the ramp-1, Ramp 1 to the surface ofthe floor one, FL1 and then to move the dye for filling up thecylinderical spaces, CS.

Please note that in this model this unit is made from a rigid materialsuch as metal or synthetic material to be durable and although it can beused alone, but mainly this unit is designed to function as a cradle fora matching disposable, insert shown at FIG. 5 so that the disposablepiece can be inserted into this durable unit and used. By this method,the disposable insert can be discarded after use, leaving the durablepiece clean and useable.

FIG. 5 shows a disposable, insert made from a thin synthetic materialthat matches and simply will fits inside the cradle means shown at FIG.4. Thus naturally the shape and the build up of this unit will match toallow such use. The idea behind the use of this insert is as follows.

1. Eliminating the need for washing the unit. By removing and disposingthe insert, the user does not need to waste time for washing the wholecradle unit shown at FIG. 4. It can be imagined that cleaning the emptyspaces simply will be a very demanding job.

2. This makes these units economical, since a thin disposable piece willbe cheaper and affordable. There will be no need to waste water,contaminate sewage system etc.

3. This makes these units clean and hygienic, when it is used in barbershops, since the thin disposable piece will be disposed after each use,thus it will eliminate or very significantly, decrease the chance ofspread of germs.

4. In barber shops, it will provide piece of mind to the users when theyknow that a new units is used for them alone.

Using the logics, there is not much explanation needed for the shape ofthese inserts since their body and shape simply will match the insidesurface of the durable unit shown at FIG. 4 and this piece will simplyfit inside it. The edges of the upper sides walls of the insert willoverlap the side walls of the durable piece so that it will prevent fromthe contamination of the side walls of the durable piece. The unit mayhave a handle cover, Cover for Handle which will go over the handle ofthe durable unit to prevent it from contamination. The handle covermeans has a door means hinged to it at, Hinge that will cover the lowersurface of the handle and snap to its own wall, so that the handle partwill be covered totally. Alternatively, a thin vinyl envelope can bepulled over the handle, to prevent from its contamination.

FIGS. 6 and 6A show a simple divided pan which may be used in somecircumstances for this purpose. It is to show that the pan means may bemade in a different shape. The FIG. 6 shows schematically the top viewof a dye pan means, Dye Pan with small spaces are created by dividing apan by walls, DW. FIG. 6A shows schematically the cross cut view of thedye pan means, Dye Pan shown in previous FIG. 6.

FIGS. 7, 8, 14 and 15 are designed to show a method which allows adisposable brush means to be used with re-useable handle means. So thatthis will be more economical. In this method the re-useable handle meanswill be connected or attached to the body of a disposable brush meansfor use when the disposable brush means can be disconnected from thehandle means for disposal and the handle means can be re-used withanother disposable handle means.

FIG. 7. Shows schematically a brush means that has a re-useable handlemeans which attaches to the body of a disposable base, DBM which holds aseries of special brush units, BU on it. The re-useable handle means,Handle has an attachment means, ATM at its end, EP. The attachment meansallows the body of a disposable base, DBM to be separated from thehandle and to allow a new unit to be attached for use. The advantage ofthis method is that it allows lesser amount of the material to bewasted.

FIG. 8. Shows schematically the top view of the unit shown at FIG. 7. Inthis figure the re-useable handle means, Handle is attached to the bodyof a disposable base, DBM by use of the attachment means, ATM.

In another model, shown at FIGS. 13, 14 and 15. The brush means has abody with a double sided surface that allows the brush means to be inits top and lower surface. The handle means will be inserted inside thebody of the brush means. Importantly, the body of the brush means may bemade to have three or four sides or more with brush means. It may beeven made to be cylind

FIG. 9. Shows schematically the side view of a single, special brushunits, BU which has a body or a stem shown at, Stem with a series ofshort, circular walls, Wall that are located around the stem, Stem andare perpendicular to it. The presence of walls close to each othercreates a space between them, Space so that it will hold a pre-designedamount of dye in it, due to the consistency of the dye. The free end ofthe brush unit, BU has a rounded head, RH so that it will not scratchthe skin. Importantly, instead of the walls the stem may be made to haveother means such as.

a. Short, multiple side branches.

b. Spikes.

c. Indentations

d. Holes or openings.

e. Spaces.

or any other means to increase the surface of the stem and modify itssurface to allow the temporary attachment of the dye to the stem and itsparts and the surfaces for delivery to the intended area.

Importantly, any other means and modification which will be useful inthe purpose may be used to make such units applicable.

FIG. 10. Shows schematically the side view of another brush units, whichhas a body that consists of combination of two separate stems, Stem1 andStem2 with a distance between them, shown at Space. So that the surfacesof the stems and the adjacent space between them will hold a predesignedamount of the dye for delivery. The end of the brush unit, also has around head, RH so that it will not scratch the skin.

FIG. 11. Shows schematically the side view of another model of brushunits, which has a body or stem that is covered with a layer ofabsorbent material such as the cotton shown at ABSOR. This allows thefollowing.

1. If this unit is placed inside a pan of dye it will hold certainamount of dye, based on its thickness and pre-designed make up andallows it to be taken and delivered to the hairs.

2. Importantly, if it is brushed in a dry condition, thorough a group ofhairs which are covered totally with a hair dye, this unit will absorbthe hair dye during its passage among the hairs. Thus it will remove thedye from certain hairs and will keep them from being dyed uniformly, andwill create a differential coloring. The free end of this brush unit,also has a round head, RH so that it will not scratch the skin.

Method of Application of Two Dyes in the Simultaneously.

This method uses a pan means introduced in this application shown atFIG. 12. This dye pan means consists of combination of two adjacent,independent dye pans, Pan A and Pan B for delivering the dye, which arebasically very similar to dye pan means shown at FIG. 2. They areseparated by a separation wall, SEPW. This unit has the following.

a. a series of cylinderical empty spaces, CS-A and CS-B that aredesigned to allow a single, brush unit, BU of the brush means shown atFIG. 1 to be inserted inside these cylinderical spaces in order to beimmersed in the die which is filled these spaces. So that when the brushmeans is removed each brush unit, BU will be covered with a specialpredesigned amount of the hair die. The brush units, BU in front halfwill have one color and the brush units, BU in the rear half anothercolor. Thus the numbers of the Cylinderical spaces, CS will match thenumbers of the brush units, BU from the brush means.

b. A floor, Floor A and Floor B which are a flat surface that thecylinderical spaces are attached to it.

c. The sides of the floor, has a basin for holding the dye shown at DyePan A and Dye Pan B. Which will function a pan and will allow twodifferent colored hair dyes to be emptied inside each one. A higherfloor and wall similar to the unit shown at FIG. 2 will be utilized toallow this unit to be functional. The dye pans have ramps, Ramp A andRamp B similar to unit shown at FIG. 2. The advantage of this unit isthat it allows two different colors of hair dye to be placed and to beutilized with

1. A brash that will be used once with first dye in CS-A and then by thesecond dye in CS-B.

2. Or with a brash that has enough numbers of the brush units, BU thatwill allow half of the brush units to be used with the first dye in CS-Aand the other half with the second dye in CS-B.

The brush means for use with this unit will be very similar to the modelshown at FIG. 1. It will have a total numbers of the brush units, BUthat matches the total numbers of the cylinderical empty spaces, CS-Aand CS-B in this model. The blade of this brush means can be made fromtwo separate blades, located in the side of the brush means as shown atFIG. ? 18 and in a spot that will match the location of the dye pans,Dye Pan A and Dye Pan B of this pan means.

The use of two dyes with different colors will allow two colors andshades of these two colors to be applied to the hairs and prevent from auniform coloring. Importantly, more than two colors may be used withutilizing this method.

FIG. 13. Shows schematically a disposable brush means that is designedfor use with a re-useable handle means shown at FIG. 14. In this modelthe brush means has a hallow body, of Brush made of a flat, box shapedbody, made from a relatively rigid means that holds a series of brushunits, BU on its upper and lower surfaces. This unit has an opening,Opening for Handle that allows the insert part, Insert of the re-useablehandle means, shown at FIG. 14 to be inserted into it for use. The shapeand size of the insert, Insert matches and fits to the hollow space ofthis unit for proper handling. The tip of the insert, Insert will bepushed into the opening, Opening for Handle of the Body of Brush untilthe Insert is totally in place. An engagement means schematically shownat clip means, Clip Means will engage with the Neck of the handle meansto keep these units together during use. The Body of Brush, will pulledout of the handle after use by holding the end piece, Rem designed forbeing hold and pulling it away from the insert, Insert for the deliveryof the dye and the other side may be used for the removal of the extradye. Importantly, the unit may have three, four or more sides with brushmeans or it may be made to be cylinderical.

FIG. 15. Shows schematically a the cross cut side view of the body ofthe disposable brush means, Body of Brush shown at FIG. 13. In thisfigure the body of the brush means, Body of Brush is shown with itshollow space for the, Opening for Insert that accepts the, Insert of thehandle means, Handle from FIG. 14. The brush units, BU are attached tothe upper and the lower surfaces of this unit. The side blade is shownat Side Blade.

FIG. 16. Shows schematically the top view of the handle means shown atFIG. 14. This figure shows the rather wide body of this unit whichmatches the width of the body of the disposable brush means, Body ofBrush shown at FIG. 15.

FIG. 17. Shows schematically a modified, disposable brush means for usewith the dye pan shown at FIG. 12. In this model the brush means alsohas a hallow body similar to the unit shown at FIGS., 13 and 15. anduses a handle means similar to the unit shown at FIGS. 14 and 16. Thebody of this unit is shown at, Body of Brush made of a flat, box shapedbody, made from a relatively rigid means that holds a series of brushunits, BU-A and brush units, BU-B on it. By design, when used with panshown at FIG. 12. The brush units, BU-A will carry different dye thanthe BU-B. This unit will also have two blade means, Blade-A and Blade-B,for use with the Dye Pan A and Dye Pan B.

Method of use of these units.

The use of the above mentioned units follows the following basicdirections.

1. Initially, the user places the disposable pan means, shown at FIG. 5inside the durable pan means shown at FIG. 4 and closes the cover of thehandle, Cover for Handle.

2. The user pours the hair dye inside the dye pan, Dye-Pan-A.

3. The user uses a brush means such as one shown at FIG. 3 and sweepsthe hair dye from the Dye-Pan-A into the floor, FL1-A for filling thecylinderical spaces, CS-A. The user will chose a reasonable amount ofthe dye so that there will not be too much dye above the CS-A.

4. The user places the brush means shown at FIG. 3 or preferably, theunits shown at FIGS. 7-8 or 13-15 inside the cylinderical spaces, CS-Aso that the brush units, BU of these brush means will be immersed intothe dye in order to hold a designated amount of the dye in their bodies.

5. The user will use the brush means, with dye for brushing the hair.Importantly, since each brush unit, BU carries only a predesigned amountof the hair dye, thus per design the hair dye will not spill from thebrush means, to contaminate the area. By repeating this action the userwill dye the scalp, in a fashion which he or she wants.

6. By use of a dry brush means, particularly, a brush means made with anabsorbent material such as the brush unit, BU shown at FIG. 11. The usercan remove lines of the hair dye which is already applied to the hair.Thus creating a series of hairs that some part of them do not have thehair dye. Thus the coloring of the hair will not be uniform.

7. At the end, the user removes the disposable brush means, shown atFIGS. 7-8 and 13-15 and the disposable insert of the pan means shown atFIG. 5 and dispose. This will leave the durable hair dye pan shown atFIG. 4 and the handle of the brush means, FIGS. 14 and 16 ready for nextuse.

The use of the dye delivery pan with two different sets of the dyedelivery systems as shown at FIG. 12 will be very similar except theuser will use the dye from first or the second sets of the dye pans orsimultaneously, in the way they want using one dye and mixing the otherdye periodically as they wish.

The advantages that these units.

1. This system allows an easy means of delivering the dye to the hairsand prevents from dripping the dye. Thus the user can apply the dyewithout fear of contaminating the surrounding that otherwise can happen.

2. Provides differential coloring that is advantageous for creating adesired result.

3. Allows the application of different dyes by use of one pan means anddelivery system.

4. It makes the process of the application of the dye easy and morecontrolled. The user can use this system and apply the dye only to theareas that he or she wants.

5. Importantly, it allows the last remaining of the hair dye to be alsoutilized efficiently, since this method allows the last amount of thedye to be swiped into the cylinderical spaces and utilized which is notpossible by use of the ordinary means such as pans. This prevents fromwasting of the hair dye and decreases the costs of this process.

6. Importantly, this method may be used in other conditions and usesthan the hair coloring as well when ever it can be applied.

Importantly the size, thickness, nature of the brush units, relativesizes, the distances between the brush units, the materials and otherimportant parts of these units may vary in order to make differentuseful units. The modification of this invention can be done to make ituseful for other purposes and uses, other than the hair coloring aswell.

The use of hollow brush means for this purpose.

The applicant introduces that the hollow brush units may be also usedfor the delivery and suctioning of the dye. For this purpose one or moreof such brush unit will be used with machine that is capable ofaspirating and delivering a liquid or gel type dye to the hairs. Theprototype of this model is shown at FIGS. 18 and 19.

FIG. 18. Shows schematically a brush means, that is made from a tubethat has holes in its sides and tip, properly located so that the hairdye can move into them or come out of them. Thus this will function thepurpose of this invention such as the other brush means. Furthermore, itwill allow a suction and delivery means such as one shown at Suc-Delmachine in order to suction away or deliver the dye. By doing so the dye(which is already delivered to the scalp) will be removed from the scalpin the direction of the movement of the brush means and thus the colorof the hairs will be lighter. Thus with multiple and calculated use ofthis unit the hairs will have collection of hairs that are more orlesser dyed. In this model the brush unit, BU consist of a tubing withside holes, Side Hole and an open end, Open End which is connected tothe suction-delivery machine, Suc-Del Machine by a hose means, Hose. TheSuc-Del machine has control means, Control means, that allows theimportant variables of suctioning or delivery to be controlled such asits vacuuming power, suction mode or delivery mode etc. In delivery modethis machine is capable of delivering the dye from a container, Contthrough the holes and the openings of the brush units, BU to the hairs,thus allows coloring to be done in a selected groups of the hairs. Adisposable container symbolically shown at, Cont, will be able tofunction in two ways,

A. In suctioning mode the machine will function as a suctioning meansand will aspirate the dye into the Cont. The suctioned dye then willaccumulate inside this disposable container, Cont for disposal.

B. In delivery mode the dye will be placed inside this disposablecontainer, Cont so that it with use of the suction-delivery machine thedye will be pushed to be delivered to the hairs.

The brush units will be disposable, so that they can be exchanged anddisposed prior to next use.

FIG. 19. Shows schematically a brush means, that consists of a hollowbody, Base which accepts multiple brush units, BU similar to the brushunits shown at, BU from previous FIG. 18. The base is connected to apiece, Suc End which will connect to the suction hose. This unit willallow the brush units to be exchanged and a new brush units to be usedand then disposed after use. Alternatively, the whole unit shown in thisfigure will be disposable. Importantly, in some models the dye may befilled into the hollow body, Base which then either it will be squeezedout or by use of a hand held means or a machine to be delivered into thehairs.

Importantly, the issue of the rounding the head of the brush units, isto use a method to prevent from hurting the scalp thus in some unitsthis goal may be achieved by rounding the head of the brush unit ratherthan having another piece added to it.

Importantly the size, thickness, nature of the brush units, relativesizes, the distances between the brush units, the materials and otherimportant parts of these units, the other important parts of the panmeans and the other units mentioned in this application may be modifiedin order to make different and more useful units. The modification ofthis invention is also possible for making units for other purposes anduses, other than the hair coloring as well.
